LOS ANGELES - Danielle Panabaker, who plays James Woods' daughter in CBS' Shark, has been cast as the female lead in the new Friday the 13th horror remake.
The New Line project, an update of the popular series featuring the goalie mask-wielding killer Jason, already features Jared Padalecki (the CW's Supernatural) in the cast.
Panabaker will play an adventurous, athletic type, whose boyfriend (played by Travis van Winkle, Meet the Spartans) is a rich alpha-male type.
Also joining the cast like lambs to the slaughter are Aaron Yoo (Disturbia), as a quirky guy who has a tendency to wear his attraction to pretty girls on his sleeve, and Jonathan Sadowski (the upcoming Spring Breakdown) as a techie who knows the horrific history of Camp Crystal Lake, the film's infamous setting. Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is directing.
